Seamus the catwalking Seagull

Hello Hello feathered friends and all sunny people of the Hive

Sometimes I take pictures knowing where I am going to use them, but not sure when!

This is the case of this wee seagull. Being a coast dweller I have long been around to seagulls and they are by and large a bloody pest. However they can still look fluffing cute. I think Seamus looked quite photgenic, do tell me what you think at the end!

You will see why when we get there...

But first, let's head down to the beach...

I was actually out for a stroll and was taking some other pictures down on the seafront or esplanade.

The Firth of Forth which is the body of water is pretty busy. We have Grangemouth refinery up the road so you can usually see a few tankers in the water not too mention drilling platforms from the North Sea that have not been rented out.

So there we have a local seagull, he goes by the name of Seamus.

He likes to strutt his stuff on the the catwalk...

I am pretty sure he is a herringgull. Our coast used to be teaming with herring but over fishing has led to the decline of the Silver Darlings.

Seagulls meanwhile are protected. So even though they are pests, nothing seems to be done about them.

I had to pop in that shot ....

Talk about knobbly knees 🤣🤣🤣

Well I think it was a more a case of Seamus showing me his fluffy ass!

When the sky is blue they do look quite vivid pictures of Seamus.

And like any good model he does have a favourite side.

image.png

At times you can see how vicious they can be with their beak, look at that profile, almost eagle like!

image.png

Okay so not that eagle like, but it does show why they can rip open a packet of fish and chips in no seconds flat!

image.png

Yes I am looking at you Seamus. I think this is called giving me the evil eye.

image.png


Just look at that, the cheeky fluffer showed me where the life preserver was in case I fell in the water, as unlike him I can't just fly out of harms way!

image.png

So there we have it. That was Seamus strutting up and down the esplanade wall or in his case his catwalk!

image.png

I do hope you liked this little meander on the seafront whilst we watched Seamus the seagull strut his stuff on the catwalk.

This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 163 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantastic Feathered Friends community on Hive.

And I shall pick this one for the entry

image.png

It was very hard to choose, I did think of one of him strutting on the catwalk, but I choose him trying to look all tough!

What do you think? Was that your favourite?

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

Hello @tengolotodo
Although we have a coast in the city where I live, there are no seagulls here, if we want to see them we have to travel to the south of the country where my uncle Ivan lives
They are beautiful birds, and I love their looks.
Beautiful photographs

It really a wonderful bird and good looking to.

Yes I am looking at you Seamus. I think this is called giving me the evil eye., I guess its no evil eye, they are enticing. Cute bird.

Wonderful pictures to fix my eyes, thanks friend, do have a wonderful week.

Thanks Dani, they are cute but a pest in more ways that one. When I am the boat pond feeding the swans and ducks I am forever scaring the seagulls away. They are like dustbins and will eat anything!
Hope you have a fantastic week too thanks :)

Such a model! Really looks like he is posing on the catwalk. LOL.
Seagulls are pests here too, but are they protected? I have to find out. They are just something we get used too.
It is a pleasure to read your post and thank you so much for your entry!🙂

Hehe thanks Neli and yes when they prance up and down like that, it does remind me of models on the catwalk!
Yeah they really are pests and I can't believe they are protected. It is the biggest fight we have with the council as they get worse and breed more and more! Thanks for the prompt.

I like the level of detail in the images. The sound of these birds is very peculiar to these coastal areas. Regards @tengolotodo

I think it's a great deal taking pictures, especially when you are out of your abode. Well, I thought a Seagull is just an ordinary bird and never knew it has the ability to rip a fish apart in split seconds.
Nice shots!
